- Check your hours per week, days per week and paid weeks per year.
- See your pay for every period, from hourly to yearly.
How the conversion works
Yearly pay = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks per year
- Weekly = hourly × hours per week. Daily = weekly ÷ days per week.
- Bi-weekly = yearly ÷ 26, semi-monthly = yearly ÷ 24, monthly = yearly ÷ 12.
- At 40 hours and 52 weeks, a year has 2,080 paid hours.
Examples
- $20 an hour: 20 × 40 × 52 = $41,600 a year
- $50,000 a year: 50,000 ÷ 2,080 = $24.04 an hour
- $20 an hour with 2 unpaid weeks off: 20 × 40 × 50 = $40,000 a year

Vacation, holidays and the 2,087-hour year
Paid holidays and vacation are still paid weeks, so keep 52. Lower the weeks only for unpaid time off.
A year is 365 or 366 days, slightly more than 52 weeks. That is why the US Office of Personnel Management divides federal salaries by 2,087 hours instead of 2,080.
All figures are gross pay, before tax and other deductions.
